HAM AND CORN CHOWDER



Ham and Corn Chowder image

My mother is an excellent cook who rarely follows a recipe exactly. My two sisters and I do the same thing, adding something here, omitting something there. With this soup, I sometimes leave out the bacon and butter, and have used canned corn and creamed corn with good results. We like to eat this soup with big soft hot pretzels instead of crackers. -Sharon Rose Brand, Stayton, Oregon

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the chowder will taste. Look for sweet corn, tender potatoes, and smoky ham.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to corn and potatoes, add other vegetables to your chowder, such as carrots, celery, and onions. This will give the chowder more flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want the vegetables to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them just until they are heated through.
  • Use a good quality ham. The ham is the star of the show in this chowder, so make sure you use a good quality ham that you enjoy the flavor of.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. The cheese is what makes this chowder so rich and creamy. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar or Gruyère.
  • Serve the chowder hot. Chowder is best served hot, so make sure you heat it through before serving. You can also top the chowder with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped chives.

Conclusion:

Ham and corn chowder is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious ham and corn chowder that your family and friends will love.
